Data Acquisition
Data Acquisition (abbreviated DAQ) is the process of collection of real-world signals and conversion of the resulting samples into digital numeric values that can be manipulated by a computer. Data Acquisition systems can also form part of a process control system, data logging and monitoring.
DAQ systems come in many different technology forms and in a vast range of implementations from small USB device connected to PC to millions of synchronised electronic channels in detectors on Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

Projects
Centre for Doctoral Training in Next Generation Computational Modelling
Hans Fangohr, Ian Hawke, Peter Horak (Investigators), Susanne Ufermann Fangohr, Thorsten Wittemeier, Kieran Selvon, Alvaro Perez-Diaz, David Lusher, Ashley Setter, Emanuele Zappia, Hossam Ragheb, Ryan Pepper, Stephen Gow, Jan Kamenik, Paul Chambers, Robert Entwistle, Rory Brown, Joshua Greenhalgh, James Harrison, Jonathon Waters, Ioannis Begleris, Craig Rafter
The £10million Centre for Doctoral Training was launched in November 2013 and is jointly funded by EPSRC, the University of Southampton, and its partners.
The NGCM brings together world-class simulation modelling research activities from across the University of Southampton and hosts a 4-year doctoral training programme that is the first of its kind in the UK.
Dynamics simulations for quantum feedback to steer a single-particle harmonic oscillator in non-classical states
Hendrik Ulbricht (Investigator), Ashley Setter
This PhD project is about using digital electronics to implement a parametric feedback loop to modulate the intensity of an optical trapping laser in order to stabilise/cool the centre of mass motion of a nanoparticle. It is then intended we use digital parametric feedback to drive the motion of the particle, which is essentially a quantum harmonic oscillator, into non-classical quantum states such as squeezed and number states.
Imaging ultrasonic Lamb wave patterns
Visualizing ultrasonic Lam wave patterns using deflectometry and comparison with multiphysics FE results.
SAVE: Solent Achieving Value through Efficiency
Patrick James, Ben Anderson (Investigators), Luke Blunden
Analysis of 15 minute electricity consumption and 10 second instantaneous power data from 4,000+ households in the Solent region collected over 3 years of a randomised control trial study.
Simulating Household Decision Making in Rural Malawi
James Dyke, Kate Schreckenberg (Investigators), Samantha Dobbie
A scoping exercise to determine whether data collection tools of the social sciences can be used effectively in the construction of empirical ABM. Focus fell upon simulating drought coping strategies of Malawian smallholders. Model implementation enabled inferences to be made concerning the impact of drought and input subsidies upon smallholder food security.
Spatial variability of the atmosphere in southern England
Joanna Nield, Jason Noble, Edward Milton (Investigators), Robin Wilson
No-one really knows how variable key atmospheric parameters such as Aerosol Optical Thickness and Water Vapour content are over relatively small areas. This study aims to find out!
